Operating Instructions
Care & Maintenance
1.
Turn your steam cleaner off and unplug from
the electrical outlet.
Wrap power cord around cord hangers.
Let your steam cleaner cool for five (5) min-
utes before removing the Ultra-Microfiber pad
and before emptying the water tank.
IMPORTANT
Always ensure that your
steam cleaner is
2.
3.
UNPLUGGED from the
wall receptacle prior to
cleaning or emptying the
water tank.
4.
5.
Always empty the water tank when you have
finished using your steam cleaner.
Never leave Ultra-Microfiber pad on steam
cleaner when you have finished using it.
Always remove the Ultra-Microfiber pad and
wash in warm water with a mild detergent.
Never use bleach or fabric softener when
cleaning the Ultra-Microfiber pad.
CAUTION
Do not immerse your
steam cleaner in water
or any other liquid.
The Ultra-Microfiber pad can be washed in a
washing machine and dried in a clothes
dryer but on low heat.
To decrease pad wear, we recommend the
pad be hung to dry for 24 hours.
Wipe your steam cleaner with a damp cloth to
clean. Never immerse the unit in water or any
other liquid.
In order to keep your steam cleaner in good
condition, we recommend that you clean the
water tank once a month to eliminate calcium
deposits. Add eight ounces (8 oz) of water to
the water tank and insert 1 packet of Fresh
Rinse™ Lime and Scale Remover. Shake to
loosen any deposits. Place unit on resting
mat without pad, turn unit on and allow water
to steam until water in tank is depleted.
Do not use vinegar or other decalcifying
substances in the steam cleaner water tank.
CAUTION
Always operate steam
cleaner by gripping
the handle. Do not
grip by the pole.

3.
A good amount of steam passes through
the Ultra-Microfiber pad. We recommend
that the Ultra-Microfiber pad be changed
when it becomes oversaturated.
4.
To remove stubborn stains from vinyl or
linoleum floors, pre-treat with a mild
detergent and some water before using the
steam cleaner.
Ultra-Microfiber Pads for HAAN® Steam Cleaners
What is an Ultra-Microfiber?
An Ultra-Microfiber is a textile fiber that is thinner and more absorbent than a micro-
fiber (1.0dtex) pad typically used with steam mops. Specifically, to be defined as an
Ultra-Microfiber, it should be less than 0.2dtex. The Ultra-Microfiber pad by HAAN
Corporation is made of .17dtex Ultra-Microfibers.
How to Use Ultra-Microfiber Pads
1.
2.
Please make sure that a completely dry pad is used.
As high temperature steam passes through a pad to contact the floor
to kill germs, molds, mites and to provide a certain amount of water
necessary for cleaning, it is natural that the pad gradually absorbs
moisture. After a certain length of time, the pad repels water and
becomes damp.
3.
4.
To keep the floor clean and dry, replace the pad when it is dirty.
Only remove pad from unit when not in use and steam is not being
emitted.
How to Clean and Store
1.
Hand wash or machine wash the Ultra-Microfiber pad in cold water
on the delicate cycle with a mild detergent. (Do not use a
fabric softener.)
2.
3.
Using a washing machine may shorten the lifespan of the pads.
We recommend air drying the Ultra-Microfiber pad for 24 hours, but
they could be dried in a dryer on a low heat setting.

Before Using Your Steam Cleaner
Be sure to read ALL instructions and warnings before using
your steam cleaner.
WARNINg
Your steam cleaner is designed to clean hard floor surfaces that will withstand high
heat. Do not use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. On surfaces that
have been treated with wax or some no-wax floors, the sheen may be removed by
the heat and steam action. It is always recommended to test an isolated area of the
surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We also recommend that you check the
use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer.
Helpful Hint:
Helpful Hint:
When heated, never leave the ap-
pliance in one spot on any surface
for any period of time. Always
place your steam cleaner on the
Floor Protector/Resting Mat when
stationary.
Always empty water from water
tank after use. To ensure opti-
mum product function use Fresh
Rinse™ once a month.

Before Using Your Steam Cleaner cont.
CAUTION
Use only a heavy duty extension cord rated for 15 amps minimum – DO NOT use an
ordinary extension cord.
IMPORTANT
This product is NOT for space heating purposes.
CAUTION
HAAN® floor care products emit steam at 212º F to sanitize the area of use. This
means that the steam head, Ultra-Microfiber pads and carpet glide get very hot
during use. Care should be taken when using this appliance and DO NOT touch
components of this machine during use except in the approved manner as outlined
in this manual.

Variable Steam Selection
TURBo
Your HAAN VersaSteam™ has three steam settings so you can
choose the perfect steam level for your surface or mess.
The low setting is great for laminate and bamboo surfaces. It is
best used for light cleaning.
The medium setting works well on hardwood and marble and
everyday cleaning.
The high setting is for more durable surfaces like tile and lino-
leum. It can be used on heavily trafficked areas and stuck on
stains.
Lo w
Hi g H
Me d .
The Turbo feature is great for an extra boost of steam on really
difficult stains.
Using the Cord Hook
Connect the cord to the cord hanger as instructed in
order to keep the cord from being damaged. Loosely
wind the cord around the hooks before storing.
CAUTION
Special care should
be exercised with the
power cord during
steam cleaner use
as excessive twisting
and/or subjecting it to
a substantial external
shock can result in
damage, which can
in turn cause product
malfunction.

Commonly Asked Questions
Q: Can the HAAN® Steam Cleaner be used on laminate flooring?
A: Yes. Your steam cleaner was designed to be gentle on delicate flooring, yet power-
ful enough to penetrate stains and kill harmful germs and bacteria.
It is recommended that the flooring manufacturer be contacted to see if it is OK to
clean the floor with steam. Leaving the steam cleaner sitting in one spot while steam-
ing could result in discoloration of flooring.
Q: Why does my HAAN® have different steam settings?
A: The different steam settings were designed with different floor types and stains in
mind.
Q: How long can an Ultra-Microfiber Pad be used until it needs to be changed?
A: The pad should be changed every 10 minutes, or when it becomes saturated with
water. The unit will become harder to push with an overly wet pad.
Q: How long does a tank of water last?
A: A full tank will last approximately 20-25 minutes but is dependent on the steam
setting used.
Q: Sometimes my steam cleaner becomes hard to push - why?
A: If the unit is hard to push it’s likely because the Ultra-Microfiber Pad is too wet or
the angle at which you are using the machine is too high.
Q: How do you use the Carpet Glide on carpet?
A: The carpet glide is to be used without the Ultra-Microfiber Pad and can be attached
directly to the unit.
Q: Does the HAAN® work on pet stains?
A: Yes, the HAAN® is able to spot clean fresh pet stains by loosening and lifting the
stain.
Q: How can I prolong the life of my HAAN®?
A: To maintain the life of your unit, we recommend using Fresh Rinse™ once a month.
Q: Will the HAAN® Steam Cleaner clean grout?
A: Yes, but it needs a little help. If you glide your HAAN® over the problem areas and
then scrub with your Ultra-Microfiber Pad, it should effectively clean your grout. How-
ever, it will not remove discoloration as this has been absorbed into the grout.
Q: Will the Turbo Technology hurt my delicate surfaces?
A: Turbo Technology was designed to be used on most types of surfaces. However,
you should only use it for a few seconds on a difficult mess before continuing the
cleaning action.
